Big Thompson Watershed Assessment
This watershed assessment followed a procedure prescribed by the Front Range Watershed Protection Data Refinement Work Group titled “Protecting Critical Watersheds in Colorado from Wildfire: A Technical Approach to Watershed Assessment and Prioritization”. See sidebar link for more information.
The fourth-level Big Thompson Watershed was modified because the watersheds on the plains would skew the results of the prioritization. The Phase 1 analysis has been completed. Please review the results (see sidebar).
The Big Thompson Watershed Assessment has been taken further through the stakeholder process. That process has provided a final prioritization and an opportunities and constraints analysis. Please refer to the Big Thompson Watershed/Wildfire Assessment page for information on that work.
